The Eight sensorable movements of the revolution controller!!!

The other day I was thinking of how superior the revolution controller is to the analogue stick and I discovered that it will have 8 plains of movement compared to the analogue sticks 2 (forward/backward and left/right) and the mouse's 3 (forward/backward, left/right and the mouse wheel if you have one) so here is a list of all eight, with animations and possible implementation into games.

Pointing Up/Down
Is sensed by TV mounted sensors.This works like a mouse, and will proberly be implemented into all menu's of games. Possibilities;

• FPS aim
• RTS unit select
• Target selecting

Pointing Left/Right
Is sensed by TV mounted sensors.

This works like a mouse, and will proberly be implemented into all menu's of games. Possibilities;

• FPS aim
• RTS unit select
• Target selecting

Depth perception
Is sensed by TV mounted sensors

This works like a scroll wheel/ the forwards and backwards motion on a analogue stick.
Possibilities;

• walking forward and backwards
• zooming in and out
• speeding up and slowing down (racing/flying)

Left to right
sensed by TV mounted sensors
this works like left and right on the analogue stick.
possibilities;

• strafing
• sword fighting

up and down sensors
sensed by TV mounted sensors


this is pretty unique.
possibilities;

• exercise game
• flying
• entering morphball in metroid

turning
is sensed by controllers gyroscopes
this sort of imitates a steering wheel or if held vertically a joystick.
possibilities;

• racing
• flying

Pitch
is sensed by controllers gyroscopewhen vertical works like a joystick
possibilities;

• jumping
• tetris (rotate blocks)
  
• flying

rolling
is sensed by the controllers gyroscopes

this is pretty unique
possibilities

• roll in flying
• motor bike game
• cool gun effects
  

all I have done in this article is show the individual movements and how they could be used, it gets interesting when you start combining movements, as this makes the possibilities endless. Where as with an analogue stick the most adventurous thing you can do is walk diagonally with this controller you can have a full sword fight, fly a plane or snipe someone realistically and that isn't even using the nunchuka attachment which adds of course two more movement types.

I did not write this article to say the analogue stick is crap (except perhaps the PSPs nubin) I am just trying to show the world that the revolution controller is better!!!
